utopia The Republic, his characters are arguing

visit www.snaptutorial.com Descartes famously
argued that he could not rely on his body,
senses, and even his idea of reality because he
did not know if he was dreaming or not.
Sometimes, he wrote, he would think he was awake,
only to realize that he was just having a very
realistic dream. People who have lost touch with
reality, he further argued, seemed to think they
were someone they weren't and that reality was
something it wasn't. How did he know he wasn't
dreaming or hallucinating?

The Myth of Sisyphus Looking forward to your
responses! Albert Camus, an existential
philosopher who lived from 1912 to 1960, wrote an
essay titled "The Myth of Sisyphus," in 1941
(during World War II). Sisyphus was a Greek who
was punished by the gods for having lied to them
and cheated death. For all eternity, Sisyphus was
made to roll a giant boulder up a hill, only to
have it roll back down again just as he almost
reached the top. Camus argued that this pointless
and wholly futile task was similar to the life of
humans Our lives are pointless and, as such, we
are condemned to all eternity to the futile tasks
of living.
